London Has More Animal Statues Than Women, Article Claims

An article by Errika Gerakiti on DailyArt Magazine argues that London has more statues of animals than of women. The piece highlights the disparity in public monuments, noting that while the city features numerous animal sculptures, only 10 statues depict real women. The article uses this contrast to question societal values and the representation of women in public art. It references Damien Hirst's diamond-encrusted skull 'For the Love of God' as a contrasting example of how art can provoke discussion about value and mortality. The piece calls for more statues of women to balance historical representation.
